Shah Abu Muhammad Shamsul Kibria (Bengali: শাহ্ আবু মুহাম্মদ শামসুল কিবরিয়া ; 1 May 1931 – 27 January 2005), known as SAMS Kibria or Shams Kibria, was a Bangladeshi economist, diplomat and politician.[1]
Joining the Foreign Service of Pakistan in 1954, Kibria served in a number of diplomatic missions for Pakistan. In 1971, at the height of the Bangladesh Liberation War, Kibria, an ethnic Bengali, dissociated himself from the Pakistani foreign service and declared allegiance to the Mujibnagar government. After the independence of Bangladesh, he served as the Director General of the Political Affairs department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bangladesh and twice as the foreign secretary of Bangladesh.[2] Between 1981 and 1992, Kibria was the Executive Secretary of UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).[3]
Kibria joined Bangladesh Awami League in 1992. He served as the Minister of Finance of the Bangladesh government led by Sheikh Hasina from 1996 to 2001. In the 2001 general election of Bangladesh, he was elected a member of the parliament from his constituency Habiganj-3.[2]
Kibria was assassinated on 27 January 2005 in a grenade attack in a public meeting in Habiganj, Sylhet.[4][5]
